I did....
bullmastiffs grow to about 110-130 lbs
the picture says 200lbs,,,,which would be typical of an english mastiff
either he is cornfused,,,,or he plans on overfeeding the pup till it hits 200lbs

you can probably skip the obedience training with the bull mastiff. As a previous owner of one, I can tell you that they are one of the most naturally intelligent, obedient, and loyal breeds. Mine was gentle with my child, later a rabbit and kittens. She was only aggressive when threatened, protecting or commanded. She was never trained to attack or threaten, she just seemed to know. She considered the full moon a threat, along with any stranger. Their size is imposing to any intruder, and usually this trait repels most. When attacking or defending, the mastiff is adept at using the size advantage. Mine would face head on, with her front legs spread to the side. I think this was a sucker play for on comers, because she could make a grab, and in a quick backstep, toss a german shepard with the leverage gained. This feat was joyfully viewed when my neighbors dog was, um, in season and had some visitors. Although I didn't, I was more than confident that my two year old could play safely in the yard. Any dog that wasn't deterred by the toss was cowered by the ability of a mastiff to phisically lift themselves out of a throat hold and return it from a standing position. They are an impressive breed. Treat your dog well, and it will be returned.

Please dont skip on his food during his growing months, You may ask your vet for advice on some extra calcium. this will save you some trouble in his senior years with hip problems and other poor nutrition issues such as cancer, tumors, stomach problems.
Dogs/ pups of this size need so much more than just your average PUPPY food during the first 10-17 months. please dont overlook this issue, how you feed him during the growing time will save you so much time/money/ and heartache when he is old..
I now have a 12 year old great dane in good health!. that is very uncommon and I thank the man I got this same advice from all the time. In fact He had me feed mine goats milk the first 4 months.
